Now, it's been about 1/3 of the way into all the Holiday sales. There are starting to be some repeats but I have managed to pick up some other nice deals~♥

Saint's Row: The Third I was most excited for this game to go on sale. I didn't really pay attention to this series but my SO got this game in the THQ humble bundle and I was so fascinated by how ridiculous and funny this game was, that I had to pick it up. Unfortunately at the time, I just missed the fall sales as well so I was waiting for Christmas! I picked this one up at 75% at 7.50 for the complete edition with all the DLC. I'm not a huge fan of visual DLC as I like to earn it myself in the game but the actual gameplay ones are a must. The full package is also on sale right now on Amazon for 7.50. I just really love how over the top and fun this game is. I totally recommend it. |

Lego Batman 2 I haven't played this one yet, but I think Lego games are really cute and I'll give a more in depth opinion on Lego series in the next game. I mostly picked this one up because it was bundled together with the Harry Potter games on Amazon for only 13.99. A really great deal at around ~4.60 per game, especially if you strive for completion in a video game, these will last quite a bit. Lego Lord of the Rings was also highly recommended and it is on sale for 7.50 as well. I thought I'd have enough time with these games that I can wait on that one. I've also never seen Lord of the Rings so I wouldn't understand it very well. Oop. I've also read that this and Lord of the Rings Lego are the only games to feature voices. Lego's with voices..
  Lego Harry Potter 1-4 / 5-7 I completely disregarded Lego games when they first came out as I'm sure quite a few people did. When I first got my Wii, I also got a free copy of Lego Indiana Jones which I sold to Gamestop for like.. 3 dollars. I should have given it a chance! They looked like they were meant for babies and probably wouldn't interest me. Lego Harry Potter came out and it totally changed my mind. It replays through lots of the story and it is plain adorable and cute. The gameplay is simple but there are some puzzles that can confuse you. It's really fun on multiplayer [but beware, there is only local co-op] and you just constantly explode blocks and collect coins. If you like Harry Potter, this game is totally recommended. These games are really fun. These two games are included in the ^ batman bundle. The controls on the computer are wonky but still playable but it is also playable with a usb controller. These games may not be everyone's cup of tea with it's lack of depth, but it's a cute and enjoyable casual game that allows you to play through a beloved series. |

Coconut Queen This was more of a very random impulse buy for 2.50 off of steam. It looks cute and had positive reviews from what I've seen on the internets. From all the reviews I've read, it seems like a fun build a lot type game. So, I'm going to guess that you build lots and lots. The concept is cute as well, you're a lady who ends up as an island where they take her as their queen. I'm not particularly good at time management games, but for I thought I'd give this a try. ^_^
Okay that's all for now~♥
